I guess this is what authors write about.
His features were drawn with engineer-like precision
And I can only make out the lines from a distance,
With stares and a book that hides his gaze,
Occasionally peering up to steal glances of his own.
Why doesn't he speak to me though his glare lingers?
I wonder about the secrets hidden behind the words he chooses to give attention to.
Am I like a painting in a museum he is just admiring?
He no longer undresses the words he is married to,
As I am his mistress of sight.
Maybe one day he'll read me.
